Valkyrie: Skimmer. 24″ move. Troops may disembark at any point in its movement, but more than 12″ and they take a dangerous terrain check.

==============================
***Note that in the original Spanish, no quantity is given for the number of area effect markers for the Deathstrike. Ref 1D3 on the Manticore.
~One, BoLS has heard confirmation on the Deathstrike, so I wouldn’t immediately discount all of this stuff. There are certainly some translation issues with some of the special rules, and ranges during the cm-inches conversions, so watch out for those. Still, that is some really cool stuff in there. As usual with these, caveat emptor. Still, Heavy 20…thats crazy talk!!!
